Somen Salmon Salad
It doesn't look like it, but this was a pretty nice salad. I tried to mix the ingredients, but it would have been better to just add them all on top.
Recipe:
Cook the somen for 2 minutes in salted boiling water.
Drain, rinse with cold water until they're really cold. Best to leave them in some ice-water until you use them.
Rinse and dry salmonfillets. Brush with some arachide oil, sprinkle with salt and some sanshopowder (=sichuan peppercorn). Panfry quickly to get a crispy skin, but don't overcook them. Seperate into bite size bits.
Cut cucumber into thin slices. (I took the seeds outs and cut it in half first)
Mix the somen with a dressing of:
1/2 t wasabi (make a paste with some soy first, otherwise you'll have lumps)
4 T soysauce
2 T mirin
1 t sugar
1 t sesame oil
Then mix with:
salmon
cucumber
spring onion
coriander/cilantro
